jeffrey lewis set the scene pretty well in that song. there must be others tho that do such an experience justice.

i did shrooms for the 1st and only time in november, i was so so looking forward to doing them as I have had acid lots and thought it was truly amazing. however, the shrooms were not so nice to me!
a guy who i hadnt met before came to visit my housemates and brought some liberty caps with him, i jumped at the chance to eat some and did so with 2others. we brewed them in boiling water, then drank and ate them. before the others had even finished their drink, mine was hitting me HARD! despite the overwhelming excitement i started to come over a little scared and had to leave the room. in the time it took me to reach the toilet i was in another world entirely. a true nightmare world, a vision of hell is the only way to describe it. Fear set in, was i going to be like this for 4hours!? I made myself sick - everything i could possibly throw up i did, and crawled into bed, in the dark, with the door locked. Even the slightest noise sent me into a doom spiral, a pin could have dropped and the tiny noise would have killed my brain. i was in this catatonic unbearable mental torture for 3 solid hours before any sort of respite. Literal demons screaming from one corner of my head to the other, at times i wanted to scream out, and others i contemplated smashing my head against the wall to knock myself out, the rest of the time i just wanted to die. finally, after a long session of social withdrawal i was able to listen to music again, and by the end of daydream nation i was ok to talk to people again.
but for those 3 hours i was as helpless as a rabbit in the headlights. i was a pathetic mess, not even a ball of nerves, just slime, melted into the bed. the mental equivalent of having my skin peeled off by skinheads.
horrible

so i cant think of any song lyrics that do my experience justice. can anyone?

come to think of it

i dont think even i could put into words the sheer horror of it, however hard i tried


QOTSA - Monsters In The Parasol

"Paul's Dad is warped and bubbling...Oh well..."

sounds pretty harsh man, psychedelic drugs are DODGY


shit!

that sounds literally like the scariest thng ever! on friday i saw a bloke leaning on some railings by the canal near my house, thought he was just pissed, came back two hours later and he was still there rocking back and forth and gurning like a mad man, and whimpering like a small animal, i called an ambulance and left him too it. i felt guilty


I think a fucked up instrumental

would be more fitting


this^


There's a song on Ambient vol 2

Something like the 3rd or 4th track on the first disc that made me vomit once. It got inside my head in a way that I would liken to shrooms.


do you

work for FRANK?


anne frank


frank...

sidebottom?


that

reminds me of a bad couple of hours i had on acid. it was horrible, i just wanted to climb out of my own head, i felt so so trapped. i'm not really a huge fan of any mind-altering substances any more, i hate situations i can't control.


I think it depends what environment you're in.

I've had good and bad from mind altering substances, and as far as I could tell it came from my state of mind at the time.


The only time I did mushrooms

It felt like it lasted forever and Josh Winks higher state of conciousness was on I sware for at least 4 days non stop I went looking for the DJ set up so I could turn it off and I got there and forgot how to use decks that was annoying so I went and smoked some bongs


one of the few times i've done...

mushrooms was in amsterdam and my vision was washing everything out in green and red, alternating between the two every few seconds. that was pretty odd. not exactly scary though, i guess. then all the buildings started to kind of dance about when i was walking down the street... like they were bobbing in time to some non-existent music. then i nearly got run-over by a tram. then i laughed a lot and went to sleep.


no i dont work for frank

sadly i have painted myself as a drug hater. which I am most certainly not, i love to get fucked up. this is the only bad drug experience ive ever had, but it was bad.
acid, i love. but it does go on for a long, long time. at least the shrooms only lasted 3hours. could've been 12!

and yeh, aphex twin.
or even the instrumental thing at the end of rated R, where it just keeps droning on and on and on getting more and more twisted


hehe I just mentioned that bit

In the Rated R thread


what about Scentless Apprentice?

that pretty much epitomises what Hell sounds like. Dum! Dum! Dugga! Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum! Dum! Dugga!


best fucking

drum beat intro ever :)


I've never had any bad experiences.

Although I'm pretty new to taking acid I've only done it on about 5 occasions, things have got really slow and distorted but in a good unscary way.


acid is amazing

ive had the best time of my life on acid i think. it basically turned me into a child who was seeing everything for the first time again and loving it


Yeh that's basically what it's done for me thus far.

I phoned my mate to ask if he could get some for me for next weekend, unfortunately I was out of luck. Coke, pills and ketamin will have to do then. :)

P.S. Why is this on the music board?


cos i originally asked

if anyone could find a song that does justice to a horrible drug experience.

but it was also an excuse to hear some bad trip stories


i knew this thread would be here

its sunday i suppose. last night i, er, fell into a hole. i found the dissociative experience far more pronounced, dali-esque and downright terrifying than any amount of acid or mushrooms. never again.


yeh ive rimmed the k-hole before

but never fallen in

my friend however did, and he was lying on the floor screaming why is this happening to me im dying i cant believe youre just going to stand there and watch me die!

but he was ok in an hour!


anyone played Gears of War?

thats what K feels like


I'm now a little scared about next Saturday.

I'll still do it anyway, I've never taken ketamin before, I'm curious. Fortunately I'm not a cat so I should be ok.


ket is ok

just dont have too much. thats only when it gets bad, if you have the right amount then its totally cool. youre not gonna freak out on a small line


Does nowt for me

apart from giving a drunk feeling.
I really hate the metallic taste at the back of the throat though.


indeed

K is my favourite drug. Though i would love to try acid.

Don't get drunk before/during. It will just make you ill. Also i wouldn't recommend doing it in a club. Houseparties/small social gatherings are much better.


Er..I was planning on getting drunk beforehand.

Although I would be taking it at the end of the night when I get back to my mates house. There wont be many people about.

1 out of 2 isn't bad, right?


no, you really can't drink

just imagine if you got drunk and started spinning around and around to make yourself dizzy. you're gonna be sick, right? well that is what ket will do to you in your drunken state. I know this from both personal experience and from seeing others do it.

you could probably get away with having a few drinks then not drinking at all for about an hour then taking it. Hm.

It's really fun to do on it's own anyway, it makes you walk like that bit in fear and loathing after they take the ether and go into that circus place. wonky. mhmm.


its*

ugh, not with it.


^this

i was sick when i did it cos i drank.
still fun though:)


What the fuck's the point of taking them if there's a risk of this?

This terrifying description has 100% made up my mind about psychedelic drugs.


hehe

sorry i didnt mean to be some horrid drug councellor!


massive lulz

is why.


The reward outweigh the risks.

Although I'm not promoting them, do whatever is best for you.


Washing Dry Mushrooms Down With Earl Grey

It's the only time I ever hallucinated. There where ferris wheels of color and texture on everything, I had to breathe on a bathroom mirror to assure myself that I was indeed breathing. I called the hospital but hung up when I realized I couldn't talk. The whole while I had a turkey in the oven at my girlfriends parents house and after ten phone calls asking me this and that about the fucking turkey I drove over there. When I got over there, they had taken the bird out of the oven and had placed it on the kitchen island and the whole family was standing around it pulling bits of skin off and eating it. I said I needeed to go in the den and lay down for a bit. A couple hours later I felt completely normal, no annoying chemical afterglow or anything.

This though was not anywhere near my worst psycedelic nightmare- I just can't go there at the mo.

Here's some Music "Time Machines' by Coil


driving whilst hallucinating sounds like the worst idea ever

and the worst experience ever. All wrapped up in one.


The hallucinating

and the overall out of controlness had subsided a bit by that point. Seriously, at one point I could only talk in my head to myself.


Last night reaffirmed why I love drugs.

Had a great evening out in Leeds, came back and done some ket in my room with a close friend. We heard some noise coming from downstairs and went to investigate. 5 or 6 of my friends were helping like dogs in their underwear totally ketamised with that new liars tune blaring out. Totally bizzare, but once you join in it's a pretty liberating experience.


.

yelping*

appologies.


I've done mushrooms twice

first time was the best day of my life.
second time...not so good.


i know, this is off topic

but does anyone else find a lot of psychedelic music too much to take when you're tripping out? I remember one fateful attempt to listen to Acid Mothers Temple almost caused me to have a psychotic episode


i know someone

who did ket and listened to Doll Doll Doll by Venetian Snares.
The story goes that he pissed himself and then had a conversation with a snake, which later turned out to be a sock on his hand.


im on prozac

it makes you immune to hallucinogens, so i cannae take owt really


i started to spin out on ket

when someone put on some metal. it was just too much really
